I only use mine when I have no idea where the end location is. I normally look on Google maps to see roughly where I want to be and then let the Nav get me the last few miles or so, especially good in London (as I usually don't have a clue where I am!!) and large housing estates. I must admit every time I have used it it has always got me there and indeed home when forced of the main route due to accidents etc. I bought the wife a brand new widescreen TomTom a little while back and running the two side by side the routes chosen are usually very similar. As stated in an earlier post they are just tools to be used when most needed not strictly followed and they always recalculate if you think you know a better way and off course being a man I am never lost!

Is it genuine, if so, what is the part number

Navteq only list up to 2008 for CARiN units fitted to GMs

Genuine for £15.....? No...

Please don't start faffing on about the lazers, I have 3 more CarIn brains to burn through before I get bored with it....

Nah, you already know the laser probs

I'm wondering if someone has found a way to graft a later CARiN disk to be accepted by earlier CARiN units, or your is a 2008 disk with some crock claiming its newer...

Well the 'map' that is on the disc that has been supplied it quite up to date as for example there is a roundabout near our house and its only been there a coupl of years and the satnav tells you to go around it... i.e take the 1st exit, so by my reckoning its a damn sight more up to date than the 1998 disc that was supplied with the CarIn that is being used LOL

Is it possible to get maps to Finland?

Is it possible to get maps to Finland? 

For what system, NCDx or CARiN

[Muroman]

CARiN.

[TheBoy]

CARiN.

Sorry, not sure. I thought they used to do a Scandanavia. But they stopped doing maps for those in 2008.

Oh that's a shame, probably going to put something else in the place of the screen

Thanks anyway!

Did someone on here say that the UK Navteq disc for 2010/11 is RRP £170?

I paid £130 for a brand new genuine 2010/11 Navteq Europe-wide disc box set direct from Opel. I bought these in February 2011 in advance of a planned European road trip that Mrs Humbucker and I have yet to embark on (because #irmscherMV6 has only just been hauled out of storage!). We're planning on going in 2015 now that the car is in the throes of being revamped, but £170 seems very steep to me for a disc that is four years old, no matter how 'new' it is.

Incidentally, we'll also be taking our Garmin with us, hehe!

I think its something like €199, so depends on the level of fleecing during conversion. Gits.
